Glaciers
Alaska Land of the Midnight Sun
Our road trip to see the Great American Eclipse on April 8th.
Well next Tuesday Karyn and I are going to start a 10,000 mile round trip from Fairbanks to Ashland Oregon, on to Salt Lake City to pick up our new travel trailer, from there head south through southeast Utah on through to southern Colorado into New Mexico and connecting to Interstate 40. Heading east on 40 to Moore Oklahoma and meet up with Dave our friend and neighbor who lives 2 miles up the road from us in Alaska. Dave keeps his travel trailer and pickup in Moore where his sister Eleanor lives. We will be traveling together from Moore to Mountain Home Arkansas to the Crows Nest RV Park.
It’s real possible we will bump into my brother in the New Mexico area as he will be dragging his trailer from Southern California to join us in Mountain Home.
So I intend to kinda keep a travel journal, more or less here in this thread. Karyn and I have for the last 10 years kept a 30 foot motorhome in the northwest and fly down from Alaska most every winter and put 4,000 to 5,000 miles mainly between the northwest and Arizona. Usually a minimum of 2 months, the longest stay was 4 months.
But this will be our longest road trip together for a vacation.
Anyway I will start by listing out some of our preparations, probably in the morning.
This is where I say something sappy like “Happy Trails”
